# Songbird
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Songbird is an async, cross-library compatible voice system for Discord, written in Rust.
|
|
The library offers:
|
|
* A standalone gateway frontend compatible with [serenity] and [twilight] using the
|
|
`"gateway"` and `"[serenity/twilight]-[rustls/native]"` features. You can even run
|
|
driverless, to help manage your [lavalink] sessions.
|
|
* A standalone driver for voice calls, via the `"driver"` feature. If you can create
|
|
a `ConnectionInfo` using any other gateway, or language for your bot, then you
|
|
can run the songbird voice driver.
|
|
* And, by default, a fully featured voice system featuring events, queues, RT(C)P packet
|
|
handling, seeking on compatible streams, shared multithreaded audio stream caches,
|
|
and direct Opus data passthrough from DCA files.
|
|
|
|
## Intents
|
|
Songbird's gateway functionality requires you to specify the `GUILD_VOICE_STATES` intent.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
Songbird needs a few system dependencies before you can use it.
|
|
|
|
- Opus - Audio codec that Discord uses.
|
|
If you are on Windows and you are using the MSVC toolchain, a prebuilt DLL is provided for you, you do not have to do anything.
|
|
On other platforms, you will have to install it. You can install the library with `apt install libopus-dev` on Ubuntu or `pacman -S opus` on Arch Linux.
|
|
If you do not have it installed it will be built for you. However, you will need a C compiler and the GNU autotools installed.
|
|
Again, these can be installed with `apt install build-essential autoconf automake libtool m4` on Ubuntu or `pacman -S base-devel` on Arch Linux.
|
|
|
|
This is a required dependency. Songbird cannot work without it.
|
|
|
|
- FFmpeg - Audio/Video conversion tool.
|
|
You can install the tool with `apt install ffmpeg` on Ubuntu or `pacman -S ffmpeg` on Arch Linux.
|
|
|
|
This is an optional, but recommended dependency. It allows Songbird to convert from, for instance, .mp4 files to the audio format Discord uses.
|
|
|
|
- youtube-dl - Audio/Video download tool.
|
|
You can install the tool with Python's package manager, pip, which we recommend for youtube-dl. You can do it with the command `pip install youtube_dl`.
|
|
Alternatively, you can install it with your system's package manager, `apt install youtube-dl` on Ubuntu or `pacman -S youtube-dl` on Arch Linux.
|
|
|
|
This is an optional dependency. It allows Songbird to download an audio source from the Internet, which will be converted to the audio format Discord uses.
|
